János Hugo Bruno "Hans" Selye (; Hungarian: Selye János; January 26, 1907 – October 16, 1982), was a pioneering Hungarian-Canadian endocrinologist of Hungarian origin.
He conducted important scientific work on the hypothetical non-specific response of an organism to stressors.
Although he did not recognize all of the many aspects of glucocorticoids, Selye was aware of their role in the stress response.
Charlotte Gerson considers him the first to demonstrate the existence of biological stress.
